Bl. Rabanus Maurus (d. 856)

"Our principal doctors agree in announcing to us, that towards the end of time one of the descendants of the kings of France shall reign over all the Roman Empire; and that he shall be the greatest of the Empire; and that he shall be the greatest of the French monarchs, and the last of his race. "After having most happily governed his kingdom, he ,viII go to Jerusalem, and depose on Mount Olivet his sceptre

and crown. This shall be the end and conclusion of the Roman and Christian Empire."
